首先，这题尚友上有解答，但我觉得解答不对，所以上来和大家讨论一下。

原题：

Three other explanations seem more promising. One involves physiological changes relevant to memory. Maturation of the frontal lobes of the brain continues throughout early childhood, and this part of the brain maybe critical for remembering particular episodes in ways that can be retrieved later. Demonstrations of infants’ and toddlers' long-term memory have involved their repeating motor activities that they had seen or done earlier，such as reaching in the dark objects, putting a bottle in a doll’s mouth, or pulling apart two pieces of a toy. The brain’s level of physiological maturation may support these types ofmemories，but not ones requiring explicit verbal descriptions.



题目
Whatdoes paragraph 3 suggest about long-term memory in children?

○Maturation of the frontal lobes of the brain is important for thelong-term memory of motor activities but not verbal descriptions．
○Young children may form long-term memories of actions they see earlier than of things they hear or are told．
○Young children have better long-term recall of short verbal exchanges than of long ones．
○Children’s long-term recall of motor activities increases when suchactivities are accompanied by explicit verbal descriptions

正确答案是B
我选了A

ladybird老师解答

根据原文：The brain’s level of physiological maturation may support these types of memories, but not onesrequiring explicit verbal descriptions.  大脑的生理成熟度能够支持这种类型（指前面提到的动作类记忆——motor activities）的记忆，但不能支持需要清晰语言描述的记忆。

由此说明，大脑的成熟对于两种记忆都很重要，因为如果大脑不够成熟就不能支持需要语言描述的记忆。

A选项：Maturation of the frontallobes of the brain is important for thelong-term memory of motor activities but not verbal descriptions．大脑成熟只对motor activities的记忆重要，而对需要语言描述的记忆不重要。
与原文矛盾。A选项属于很典型的错误，它表面上也有but not...这个结构，但句意已经暗中做了改变，如果仅核对选项表面写法、看个大概、而没有深入思考选项和原文的实际意思，就容易选错。

Young children may form long-termmemories of actions they see earlier than of things they hear or are told． 小孩能形成关于动作的长期记忆，但难以形成关于他们听到的事情的记忆（也就是需要语言描述的记忆）。这正是因为他们的大脑还不够成熟，所以只能支持一种记忆。符合原文意思。该选项正确。

首先，我觉得这个老师的解答挺水的，首先，她说大脑成熟对两种记忆都很重要，原文根本就没有support这个观点，基本可以说是她自己臆想出来的，如果有，请指出对应哪句话。


我一直纠结于A和B，我知道B没什么错，但A到底有什么错？

段落最后一句：The brain’s level of physiological maturation may support these types ofmemories，but not ones requiring explicit verbal descriptions.
意思是brain maturation may support long-term memories, but it may not support memories requiring verbal descriptions对吧？但是他没指明这里的brain maturation 一定等同于front lobes，文章这句话更多的是一个总结性的结论。所以A里面提到front lobes就不严谨。
当然这么解释感觉也有点欠妥，但是要选最佳的一个嘛，你懂~

嗯，谢谢，这也是我目前唯一想到的解释了。
